To Scatter

Abstract

The creation of a memorial to Irish migrants is the focus of this project, in particular Irish immigrants to Preston and the North West

A set of piano keys in the form of a chandelier is one way of making visual connections to oral histories such as popular song and ballad writing both of which are valuable elements in linking histories and experience within communities. A Chandelier whether elegantly crafted with beautiful materials or built for practical and economical use has a common purpose, to illuminate and radiate in order to allow a better visual perception of one’s environment
